commit 4dbd2771 "tick: export nohz tick idle symbols for module use" was merged via the thermal tree without an explicit ack from the relevant maintainers. The exports are abused by the intel powerclamp driver which implements a fake idle state from a sched FIFO task. This causes all kinds of wreckage in the NOHZ core code which rightfully assumes that tick_nohz_idle_enter/exit() are only called from the idle task itself. Recent changes in the NOHZ core lead to a failure of the powerclamp driver and now people try to hack completely broken and backwards workarounds into the NOHZ core code. This is completely unacceptable and just papers over the real problem. There are way more subtle issues lurking around the corner. The real solution is to fix the powerclamp driver by rewriting it with a sane concept, but that's beyond the scope of this. So the only solution for now is to remove the calls into the core NOHZ code from the powerclamp trainwreck along with the exports.

The "cpu" argument to rcu_needs_cpu() is always the current CPU, so drop it. This in turn allows the "cpu" argument to rcu_cpu_has_callbacks() to be removed, which allows the uses of "cpu" in both functions to be replaced with a this_cpu_ptr(). Again, the anticipated cross-CPU uses of these functions has been replaced by NO_HZ_FULL. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

The nohz full functionality depends on IRQ work to trigger its own interrupts. As it's used to restart the tick, we can't rely on the tick fallback for irq work callbacks, ie: we can't use the tick to restart the tick itself. Lets reject the full dynticks initialization if that arch support isn't available. As a side effect, this makes sure that nohz kick is never called from the tick. That otherwise would result in illegal hrtimer self-cancellation and lockup. Acked-by: NPeter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Paul E.

The local nohz kick is currently used by perf which needs it to be NMI-safe. Recent commit though (7d1311b9) changed its implementation to fire the local kick using the remote kick API. It was convenient to make the code more generic but the remote kick isn't NMI-safe.

In highres mode, the tick reschedules itself unconditionally to the next jiffies. However while this clock reprogramming is relevant when the tick is in periodic mode, it's not that interesting when we run in dynticks mode because irq exit is likely going to overwrite the next tick to some randomly deferred future. So lets just get rid of this tick self rescheduling in dynticks mode. This way we can avoid some clockevents double write in favourable scenarios like when we stop the tick completely in idle while no other hrtimer is pending.

When we reach the end of the tick handler, we unconditionally reschedule the next tick to the next jiffy. Then on irq exit, the nohz code overrides that setting if needed and defers the next tick as far away in the future as possible. Now in the best dynticks case, when we actually don't need any tick in the future (ie: expires == KTIME_MAX), low-res and high-res behave differently. What we want in this case is to cancel the next tick programmed by the previous one. That's what we do in high-res mode. OTOH we lack a low-res mode equivalent of hrtimer_cancel() so we simply don't do anything in this case and the next tick remains scheduled to jiffies + 1. As a result, in low-res mode, when the dynticks code determines that no tick is needed in the future, we can recursively get a spurious tick every jiffy because then the next tick is always reprogrammed from the tick handler and is never cancelled. And this can happen indefinetly until some subsystem actually needs a precise tick in the future and only then we eventually overwrite the previous tick handler setting to defer the next tick. We are fixing this by introducing the ONESHOT_STOPPED mode which will let us pause a clockevent when no further interrupt is needed. Meanwhile we can't expect all drivers to support this new mode. So lets reduce much of the symptoms by skipping the nohz-blind tick rescheduling from the tick-handler when the CPU is in dynticks mode. That tick rescheduling wrongly assumed periodicity and the low-res dynticks code can't cancel such decision. This breaks the recursive (and thus the worst) part of the problem. In the worst case now, we'll get only one extra tick due to uncancelled tick scheduled before we entered dynticks mode. This also removes a needless clockevent write on idle ticks. Since those clock write are usually considered to be slow, it's a general win.

Binding the grace-period kthreads to the timekeeping CPU resulted in significant performance decreases for some workloads. For more detail, see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/3/395 for benchmark numbers https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/4/218 for CPU statistics It turns out that it is necessary to bind the grace-period kthreads to the timekeeping CPU only when all but CPU 0 is a nohz_full CPU on the one hand or if CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=y on the other. In other cases, it suffices to bind the grace-period kthreads to the set of non-nohz_full CPUs. This commit therefore creates a tick_nohz_not_full_mask that is the complement of tick_nohz_full_mask, and then binds the grace-period kthread to the set of CPUs indicated by this new mask, which covers the CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=n case. The CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=y case still binds the grace-period kthreads to the timekeeping CPU. This commit also includes the tick_nohz_full_enabled() check suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.

Remotely kicking a full nohz CPU in order to make it re-evaluate its next tick is currently implemented using the scheduler IPI. However this bloats a scheduler fast path with an off-topic feature. The scheduler tick was abused here for its cool "callable anywhere/anytime" properties. But now that the irq work subsystem can queue remote callbacks, it's a perfect fit to safely queue IPIs when interrupts are disabled without worrying about concurrent callers. So lets implement remote kick on top of irq work. This is going to be used when a new event requires the next tick to be recalculated: more than 1 task competing on the CPU, timer armed, ...

This makes the code more symetric against the existing tick functions called on irq exit: tick_irq_exit() and tick_nohz_irq_exit(). These function are also symetric as they mirror each other's action: we start to account idle time on irq exit and we stop this accounting on irq entry. Also the tick is stopped on irq exit and timekeeping catches up with the tickless time elapsed until we reach irq entry.

Since the xtime lock was split into the timekeeping lock and the jiffies lock, we no longer need to call update_wall_time() while holding the jiffies lock. Thus, this patch splits update_wall_time() out from do_timer(). This allows us to get away from calling clock_was_set_delayed() in update_wall_time() and instead use the standard clock_was_set() call that previously would deadlock, as it causes the jiffies lock to be acquired.

RCU and the fine grained idle time accounting functions check tick_nohz_enabled. But that variable is merily telling that NOHZ has been enabled in the config and not been disabled on the command line. But it does not tell anything about nohz being active. That's what all this should check for. Matthew reported, that the idle accounting on his old P1 machine showed bogus values, when he enabled NOHZ in the config and did not disable it on the kernel command line. The reason is that his machine uses (refined) jiffies as a clocksource which explains why the "fine" grained accounting went into lala land, because it depends on when the system goes and leaves idle relative to the jiffies increment. Provide a tick_nohz_active indicator and let RCU and the accounting code use this instead of tick_nohz_enable.

tick_nohz_full_kick_all() is useful to notify all full dynticks CPUs that there is a system state change to checkout before re-evaluating the need for the tick. Unfortunately this is implemented using smp_call_function_many() that ignores the local CPU. This CPU also needs to re-evaluate the tick. on_each_cpu_mask() is not useful either because we don't want to re-evaluate the tick state in place but asynchronously from an IPI to avoid messing up with any random locking scenario. So lets call tick_nohz_full_kick() from tick_nohz_full_kick_all() so that the usual irq work takes care of it.

The context tracking subsystem has the ability to selectively enable the tracking on any defined subset of CPU. This means that we can define a CPU range that doesn't run the context tracking and another range that does. Now what we want in practice is to enable the tracking on full dynticks CPUs only. In order to perform this, we just need to pass our full dynticks CPU range selection from the full dynticks subsystem to the context tracking. This way we can spare the overhead of RCU user extended quiescent state and vtime maintainance on the CPUs that are outside the full dynticks range. Just keep in mind the raw context tracking itself is still necessary everywhere. Signed-off-by: NFrederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Paul E.

Revert commit 69a37bea (cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure for repeat mode), because it has been identified as the source of a significant performance regression in v3.8 and later as explained by Jeremy Eder: We believe we've identified a particular commit to the cpuidle code that seems to be impacting performance of variety of workloads. The simplest way to reproduce is using netperf TCP_RR test, so we're using that, on a pair of Sandy Bridge based servers. We also have data from a large database setup where performance is also measurably/positively impacted, though that test data isn't easily share-able. Included below are test results from 3 test kernels: kernel reverts ----------------------------------------------------------- 1) vanilla upstream (no reverts) 2) perfteam2 reverts e11538d1 3) test reverts 69a37bea e11538d1 In summary, netperf TCP_RR numbers improve by approximately 4% after reverting 69a37bea. When 69a37bea is included, C0 residency never seems to get above 40%. Taking that patch out gets C0 near 100% quite often, and performance increases. The below data are histograms representing the %c0 residency @ 1-second sample rates (using turbostat), while under netperf test. - If you look at the first 4 histograms, you can see %c0 residency almost entirely in the 30,40% bin. - The last pair, which reverts 69a37bea, shows %c0 in the 80,90,100% bins. Below each kernel name are netperf TCP_RR trans/s numbers for the particular kernel that can be disclosed publicly, comparing the 3 test kernels. We ran a 4th test with the vanilla kernel where we've also set /dev/cpu_dma_latency=0 to show overall impact boosting single-threaded TCP_RR performance over 11% above baseline. 3.10-rc2 vanilla RX + c0 lock (/dev/cpu_dma_latency=0): TCP_RR trans/s 54323.78 ----------------------------------------------------------- 3.10-rc2 vanilla RX (no reverts) TCP_RR trans/s 48192.47 Receiver %c0 0.0000 - 10.0000 [ 1]: * 10.0000 - 20.0000 [ 0]: 20.0000 - 30.0000 [ 0]: 30.0000 - 40.0000 [ 59]: *********************************************************** 40.0000 - 50.0000 [ 1]: * 50.0000 - 60.0000 [ 0]: 60.0000 - 70.0000 [ 0]: 70.0000 - 80.0000 [ 0]: 80.0000 - 90.0000 [ 0]: 90.0000 - 100.0000 [ 0]: Sender %c0 0.0000 - 10.0000 [ 1]: * 10.0000 - 20.0000 [ 0]: 20.0000 - 30.0000 [ 0]: 30.0000 - 40.0000 [ 11]: *********** 40.0000 - 50.0000 [ 49]: ************************************************* 50.0000 - 60.0000 [ 0]: 60.0000 - 70.0000 [ 0]: 70.0000 - 80.0000 [ 0]: 80.0000 - 90.0000 [ 0]: 90.0000 - 100.0000 [ 0]: ----------------------------------------------------------- 3.10-rc2 perfteam2 RX (reverts commit e11538d1) TCP_RR trans/s 49698.69 Receiver %c0 0.0000 - 10.0000 [ 1]: * 10.0000 - 20.0000 [ 1]: * 20.0000 - 30.0000 [ 0]: 30.0000 - 40.0000 [ 59]: *********************************************************** 40.0000 - 50.0000 [ 0]: 50.0000 - 60.0000 [ 0]: 60.0000 - 70.0000 [ 0]: 70.0000 - 80.0000 [ 0]: 80.0000 - 90.0000 [ 0]: 90.0000 - 100.0000 [ 0]: Sender %c0 0.0000 - 10.0000 [ 1]: * 10.0000 - 20.0000 [ 0]: 20.0000 - 30.0000 [ 0]: 30.0000 - 40.0000 [ 2]: ** 40.0000 - 50.0000 [ 58]: ********************************************************** 50.0000 - 60.0000 [ 0]: 60.0000 - 70.0000 [ 0]: 70.0000 - 80.0000 [ 0]: 80.0000 - 90.0000 [ 0]: 90.0000 - 100.0000 [ 0]: ----------------------------------------------------------- 3.10-rc2 test RX (reverts 69a37bea and e11538d1) TCP_RR trans/s 47766.95 Receiver %c0 0.0000 - 10.0000 [ 1]: * 10.0000 - 20.0000 [ 1]: * 20.0000 - 30.0000 [ 0]: 30.0000 - 40.0000 [ 27]: *************************** 40.0000 - 50.0000 [ 2]: ** 50.0000 - 60.0000 [ 0]: 60.0000 - 70.0000 [ 2]: ** 70.0000 - 80.0000 [ 0]: 80.0000 - 90.0000 [ 0]: 90.0000 - 100.0000 [ 28]: **************************** Sender: 0.0000 - 10.0000 [ 1]: * 10.0000 - 20.0000 [ 0]: 20.0000 - 30.0000 [ 0]: 30.0000 - 40.0000 [ 11]: *********** 40.0000 - 50.0000 [ 0]: 50.0000 - 60.0000 [ 1]: * 60.0000 - 70.0000 [ 0]: 70.0000 - 80.0000 [ 3]: *** 80.0000 - 90.0000 [ 7]: ******* 90.0000 - 100.0000 [ 38]: ************************************** These results demonstrate gaining back the tendency of the CPU to stay in more responsive, performant C-states (and thus yield measurably better performance), by reverting commit 69a37bea.

If the user enables CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL and runs the kernel on a machine with an unstable TSC, it will produce a WARN_ON dump as well as taint the kernel. This is a bit extreme for a kernel that just enables a feature but doesn't use it. The warning should only happen if the user tries to use the feature by either adding nohz_full to the kernel command line, or by enabling CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL that makes nohz used on all CPUs at boot up. Note, this second feature should not (yet) be used by distros or anyone that doesn't care if NO_HZ is used or not. Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Paul E.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include) that don't really have a specific maintainer.

In tick_nohz_cpu_down_callback() if the cpu is the one handling timekeeping, we must return something that stops the CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers and then start notify CPU_DOWN_FAILED on the already called notifier call backs. However traditional errno values are not handled by the notifier unless these are encapsulated using errno_to_notifier(). Hence the current -EINVAL is misinterpreted and converted to junk after notifier_to_errno(), leaving the notifier subsystem to random behaviour such as eventually allowing the cpu to go down. Fix this by using the standard NOTIFY_BAD instead. Signed-off-by: NLi Zhong <zhong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: NSrivatsa S.

commit 5b39939a (nohz: Move ts->idle_calls incrementation into strict idle logic) moved code out of tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() and missed to bail out when the cpu is offline. That's causing subsequent failures as an offline CPU is supposed to die and not to fiddle with nohz magic. Return false in can_stop_idle_tick() if the cpu is offline.

Prarit reported a crash on CPU offline/online. The reason is that on CPU down the NOHZ related per cpu data of the dead cpu is not cleaned up. If at cpu online an interrupt happens before the per cpu tick device is registered the irq_enter() check potentially sees stale data and dereferences a NULL pointer. Cleanup the data after the cpu is dead.

The scheduler doesn't yet fully support environments with a single task running without a periodic tick. In order to ensure we still maintain the duties of scheduler_tick(), keep at least 1 tick per second. This makes sure that we keep the progression of various scheduler accounting and background maintainance even with a very low granularity. Examples include cpu load, sched average, CFS entity vruntime, avenrun and events such as load balancing, amongst other details handled in sched_class::task_tick(). This limitation will be removed in the future once we get these individual items to work in full dynticks CPUs.

One testbox of mine (Intel Nehalem, 16-way) uses MWAIT for its idle routine, which apparently can break out of its idle loop rather frequently, with high frequency. In that case NO_HZ_FULL=y kernels show high ksoftirqd overhead and constant context switching, because tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() will, if delta_jiffies == 0, mis-identify this as a timer event - activating the TIMER_SOFTIRQ, which wakes up ksoftirqd. Fix this by treating delta_jiffies == 0 the same way we treat other short wakeups, delta_jiffies == 1.
